It is on these steep slopes of schist soil of the oldest demarcated region in the world that the septuagenarian vines that give life to Ládanus rest peacefully.

Sitting on the shoulders of the Douro is the village of Freixo de Espada-à-Cinta, proud owner of a unique history and the most passionate landscapes that the north of Portugal can offer. The most Manueline village in Portugal combines centuries-old traditions with an enviable legacy of wine production. Its people, dedicated and welcoming, are like the wine that grows in these hills, bathed in the merciless summer sun and tinged with the harsh cold of the most hostile winters in Trás-os-Montes.

These wines originate from a process of little intervention and spontaneous fermentation that allows the best expression of their terroir and offers a harmonious and involving experience.
